Answer 1

The correct response is:

It is different because the government sided with the employers in the other two examples.

During the Homestead and Pullman strikes, the government took actions that aligned more with the interests of the business owners, often using force to break the strikes and maintain order. In contrast, President Roosevelt's support for the coal workers during the 1902 strike marked a significant shift in government attitude, as he acknowledged the workers' grievances and aimed for a more balanced resolution.
